Far too few words lol, it would go something like

‘it was a crisp winter’s morning, my eyes were half shut with a shard of ice tentatively gripped to my eye lash, a small drop of near freezing water slid ominously down my nose, I glanced over at my fan heater in hope but whose sad and long broken blades stared back at me in disgust. I clenched my cup of hot chocolate, made with the scraped together dregs of the instant mix I found in the back of my cupboard, with both my bare hands like King Arthur clutching his precious sword, and sank into the sad foam of my thrifted sofa. Weary from another morning of rinsing beans I thought - I am Poor’

Beautiful.

Just beautiful.

So poetic.

<weeps>
 
I am 90% sure I have said this before since Jack is doing her greatest hits, so will I ....
... but everytime someones types "Dr Dr" it just makes me think 🎤 "doctor doctor, give me the news... "

Maybe we could add in "got a bad case, of scamming you.... "

Clenched, scraped, clutching... Bravo! The desperation leaps off the page. Beautiful work.

I am curious most people i know that work in data collection etc generally have qualifications in said field, not a potential A-C in a GCSE and two doctorates given to her for cooking and talking bollocks. I think her claiming that her 'data' work is better than actual paid professionals is unfair and ignorant at best. Some muppet with a wooden calculator and a few notebooks is in my opinion not going to have what it takes to sort out the fianacial crisis that has befell many, nevermind sort out the floundering NHS. She would be better using her time hitting the job centre for a wee job that will pay her an actual wage.

the thing i can't get over is the arrogance of a budget cookery writer with no academic qualifications, cooking qualifications, or indeed skills, who has maintained some level of fame for spouting opinions on social media now thinking she is the best person to save the NHS from privatisation by simply ~telling people it's expensive to phone an ambulance in America~ is off the scale.

The fact she thinks it's appropriate to call this 'project' a Whole Damn House is so, so ill thought out given she was about to shell out £157,000 IN CASH for a flat that is unsellable. (don't come at me saying it isn't unsellable unless you're coming to tell me it's sold).
 
Okay, so I did a perfunctory grunk yesterday because busy and assumed that she was trying to prove a link between poverty and poor health. Which the phrase reinventing the wheel seems both appropriate and inadequate for. Now I've had a more thorough grunk and I have absolutely no idea what she's trying to prove, can some frau enlighten me? It seems to be that because the American health system is horrible and ruinously expensive the NHS is a good thing and should be the main campaigning point for Labour in the next general election? Is that it? And because she has had a lot of treatment on the NHS she's worth the cost of a house? Can we now cash in our medical treatments for structures? If so I'm pretty sure I'm at least owed a small shed.

my kid is knee deep in uni applications atm. Now, they’re not a data squig so lucky we’ve not had to consider it but the undergraduate courses in Data Science and so on are really hard to get into! Bristol was a*aa as a minimum and most entrants have A*A*A*

And proper big boy jobs in data analysis can be very well paid simply because they require the very best people to do it.

I wonder how many of those currently slogging through their personal statement are writing about their funny pattern-spotting brain and using this emoji 🤓?

the sheer arrogance of it!!

There is something wrong with Jack's methodology? Surely not.

That's more or less the road she was going down.

Because the NHS has benefited her, it must be good. Clearly it's working perfectly for her and her family, therefore doesn't need reorganisation or improvement and we should all cheer it on, no matter it's failings for other people.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Thoughts from previous post.
I don't have security clearance but have needed to be DBS checked for jobs. You need to provide accurate information for said check. I don't know about prisons but in healthcare and schools you also need references alongside the completed check. Normally a previous employer and a suitable character reference.
Prescriptions: there was a lovely mither when she once posted her all 'meds' . She had a combination that wouldn't be prescribed. It looked incredibly dodgy, sort of like getting different medications from different private doctors.
Lastly technically inept, or technically, inept. Lovely to see how a comma can change a sentence but still make it so applicable to the subject.
This is close to a Christmas chaos but she's phoning it in.

QMLAN Jack has had a Whole Damned House worth of medical attention, whilst paying FA into the system. No wonder she's F'in happy.

I'm very grateful to the NHS, it has served me well and I wouldn't be alive today without the massive amount of care I have received...probably a Whole Damned Street of Houses worth of care.

However my brother has not been so fortunate. Due to delays and cancellations, poor diagnosis, and lack of follow on care, what started as a break in a bone in his foot (not all 22 bones though) he is now facing amputation of his leg.

The NHS is massively under pressure, and mistakes are inevitably being made. It is far from perfect.

My sister in Australia is gobsmacked by the delays and cancellations of appointments that we in the UK face.
